plan to make atheists happy..., tell me what you think

many athiests i know don't like to use currency that has on it "in god we trust" or having to say the pledge of allegiance "one nation under god with liberty..." annd so what i think the government should do is make special currency for atheists that says "in atheism we trust" and when they say the pledge of allegiance, they can say "one nation under atheism"

so what do you all think??? good plan?

 

In Darwin we Trust

 

cool, we could mint that currency for the evolutionists

 

we could mint another still that say 'the answer my friend is blowing in the wind' that would please the dylanologists.

 

I say leave their incantation on the money. I get deep psychological satisfaction from knowing that Ted Haggard paid to suck some gay guy's cock and purchase meth with money that has god's name on it.

 

who on earth has to say the pledge?

 

i would have it say:"this is a piece of special, high fiber paper. it has green ink on it. it may be used to represent symbolic value. in case of emergencies it can also be used to wipe your ass with. it was printed by a government that will to unpleasant things to you if you try to print it yourself. it has no other intrinsic value then what it is used to represent, or the uses to which high fiber paper that already has printing on it can be put to".

i would also put scenes from nature instead of dead politicians faces on either side of it. man made objects and tecnologies on the 'back', natural scenes with rocks and trees and little furry creatures on the 'front' of it.

the swirley patterns should look like leaves. whatever kind of leaves doesn't matter. herb leaves, maple leaves, oak leaves, pine needles, maybe all of them.

then at least the damd things would be pretty to look at, whether or not they were actualy worth anything.

all good ideas except that would end up being one more thing the government tries to make all of us pay for.

 

would? in what way is it not already?

'In money we trust'

This is us. Pathetic, weak willed and self centered little worms.
Violent, stupid and ignorant.
We only print 'in god we trust' on money to absolve us of the horrors
we will commit to get it.

It would be better not to write this sentence on money.

 

UNDER GOD in the pledge was added in the 50s. IN GOD WE TRUST was first used on paper money in 1957, and by 1966 it was on all paper money and coins, because of that dickhead McCarthy and his Red Scare. He believed any true Democracy loving American would be able to swear the Pledge of Allegiance because all Communist were godless atheist.


Agnostics, Atheists, Buddhists, Hindus, Wiccans, Neopagans, and others are offended by the fact the motto is endorsed by the U.S. Govenment, and it has been challenged by three lawsuits but found to be constitutional on the basis it does not endorse religion, which is of course horseshit.

 

It’s just another example of how religion is tied to governments and war. Exploiting faith for leadership support, which is usually a champion for some war or another.

It might as well say “one nation marching to the beat of one war drum” for all they cared at the time, as long as the they have the united support of there sheep and their lemmings and their pawns… we’re all just expendable minions, we all think we’re fighting as the good guys but there really are no good guys for the most part!! Just oblivious religious tools.

 

I would just like you to take a second to compare McCarthy's bogus trials on suspected 'spys' with Bush's trialess persecution of Muslims suspected of 'terrorism'.

 

yes; there is worse and there is worser! maccarthism ruined creative people's carreers economicly. bush's 'devine right' is litteraly torturing people to death, essentialy, (well in both cases for that matter), as far as i can tell, for attempting to be honest.

which sure sounds like a dead ringer for tyranny to me.

how about, "strength through unity, unity through faith"?



it's just a matter of time, isn't it?

 

How about

"Arbeit macht frie."

Just a matter of time isnt it?

Google it, you will find a whole world of information.

 

Posthumous

Actually, it is not.
For one can believe in a god without having a religion.
Religion is a HUMAN explanation/interface with a belief in a god.

But it is not mandetory or required.
One can believe a god 'existed' [hehe]
and have no connection with any religion.
God, does not require religion.

This says it all

Trust in Allah, but tie up your camel. In God we trust, all others pay cash. And my favorite, the $, which I have read is a symbolic representation of the tree of knowledge with the serpent wrapped around it... a fitting symbol for money imo. I love your accurate, if brief description of us. I would add lazy, dishonest, irresponsible, careless, forgetful, manipulative, cowardly, insecure, prejudiced, judgemental, irrational, spiteful, unjust, clumsy and unethical in all possible manners, onto your list, for a start, as I'm sure there are many similar descriptive terms left that describe the human animal. I once read, 'Every fortune hides a crime.' Balzac, or maybe Bergerac... not sure who said it.
That is not without some rare exceptions, and I have met a few fabulously wealthy folk who, as far as I could tell, were wonderful, goodhearted, kind people. I'm not saying money is evil, or the love of it is the root of evil, because I am quite sure evil existed far before money did.
Maybe the dollar bill should have the golden rule on it. "Those with the gold make the rules."

In the human world..yes.
